You can create change; the first step starts right here. It's quick, easy, and free to start a new petition on Care2.

Who can help to make this happen? It could be the President of a country, the legislative body that governs a state or region, or the head of a company. Examples:

U.S. President

CEO of Initech

Head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Who has the power to make this change? Generally your target will be a legislator, the head of a company, or a local politician.

4. Why should people sign??

To write a powerful and effective petition summary:

Tell people in the first paragraph (2-3 sentences) why they should sign.

Keep your petition short (150-200 words), and include bulleted lists or paragraph breaks to make it easier on the eyes.

Be yourself and explain why you are passionate! Then back up your passion with some well-researched facts.

In the first paragraph, tell people your personal stake in this issue and what you want changed. Keep your petition short (150-200 words). Be passionate! Show your personality!

5. Phone (optional)?

If we need to contact you urgently about your petition (for example, if a reporter wants to talk to you about it), good old phone is the easiest way! This is for those cases where we can really make your petition a success, so please help us by providing a working number. Your phone number will not be shared without your consent.

Care2's 23 million members will help your petitions succeed. Together we win!

“Outstanding, we won!”
